Welcome from the Commodore

"Thanks for visiting our virtual clubhouse!  You've probably gathered, we're a club for LGBT+ people and their friends and family.  The Club means a lot to me and I'm extremely proud to have taken the helm in 2019, having been a member for just over fifteen years.  It was originally set up in the early 80's by a chap who wanted to be able to sail without the pretence of hiding his true self from his crewmates.  He and group of likeminded sailors met covertly, not knowing they were founding an inclusive sailing community that would continue to thrive over the next forty years!  That's why it means so much to me; I love to see a group of friends from a cross-section of the LGBT+ community, bonding through their shared love of messing about in boats!  If you're considering joining, please explore the site and social media posts and, if you like what you read, I hope to see you out on the water soon to help us celebrate our Ruby Jubliee!"
